Samos to Athens - Oct 5 thru 7
My first glimpses of Samos (Greece) from the ferry out of Brindisi, Turkey
The Port of Samos, with ferries
Sunset over the Greek Isles. My first night ferry.

Syntagma Square

Above, an ancient ceramic workshop area. Below, the ancient agora.

Old, old pottery... some dating back to 3000 BCE
OK, tell me you don't see a resemblance between myself and Antonius Pius. He was one of the five good emporers... I'm just sayin'
Yep, that's the Parthenon

Dad, this one's for you. This stadium held the first modern Olympic games in 1896 and recieved the torch in 2004.
